- reechme, on 11/26/2007, -4/+233It's not funny. It's an example of the short-tempered, selective belief of a certain sect of people. If you're brought up to hate, you'll find any reason to hate - such as cartoons, misnamed toys, and the like.
- chestertonb, on 11/26/2007, -18/+226Honestly is there a religion more insecure in itself than Islam? I'm not a big fan of any religion but Islam seems especially mysogynistic and insecure.
Islam should be ashamed and we should be able to shame them without fear of reprisals. - ByteGuerilla, on 11/26/2007, -4/+168Off their ***** rockers, the lot of them.
This isn't idolatry. It isn't defaming the prophet muhammad. It's naming a teddy bear with a name that is common in the country/society. It's personification of the bear, that's why a ***** VOTE WAS HELD ON THE DAMN BEAR'S NAME! If the intention was idolatry, they'd be worshipping the bear, and the names up for vote would have been Muhammad, Mohammed, and Muhammed.
It's like they have a meeting, what outrageous ***** can we do this week that will demonstrate our will to be absolutely ***** stupid in the face of world progress. 13th Century civilisations ftw? - Twoodge, on 11/26/2007, -6/+151This is nothing. My little brother called his plate of meatballs and spaghetti 'FSM' and he turned up dead on the street two weeks later.
- natedouglas, on 11/26/2007, -2/+114It's always nice to be reminded of what happens when you combine religion and government.
- akuma1, on 11/26/2007, -3/+106100% correct
Besides every muslim man you meet is named Muhammad or Ali give me a break. - inactive, on 11/26/2007, -7/+102I'm more concerned about the fate of the 20 children that voted for the name. I hope they get left alone.
- Frei, on 11/26/2007, -2/+93"It is seen as an insult to Islam to attempt to make an image of the Prophet Muhammad."
So why are there so many guys named Muhammad? They need to free this teacher immediately and apologize, but then again we're taking about Sudan. - b33b3s, on 11/26/2007, -3/+86*****, I guess its time to rename Allah the Bear.
- grapesofbaath, on 11/26/2007, -8/+86I wonder what the 8 year old the real Muhammad married named her teddy bear.
- inactive, on 11/26/2007, -4/+75More than 200 000 people have been killed and two million displaced since 2003. There's a lot worse going on in Sudan than some nonsense with a teddy bear.
- spyrochaete, on 11/26/2007, -1/+72Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Muhammed the single most common name in the human race??
- hokie47, on 11/26/2007, -0/+64Who would give a ***** if the bear was named Jesus
- Abdo375, on 11/26/2007, -1/+58WTF, I'm Muslim and it doesn't insult me a bit, Mohamed is just a name not a symbol of our prophet, I've meet a lot of Mohammed's in my life and some of them are quite the *****, and I've never seen it as an insult.
- EarlOfLade, on 11/26/2007, -7/+57She was 6 when they got married, 9 (it is claimed) when they consummated the marriage, i.e Mohammad was a pedophile.
- mwalker05, on 11/26/2007, -0/+49FTA:"They came up with eight names including Abdullah, Hassan and Muhammad," Mr Boulos said, adding that she then had the children vote on a name.
Twenty out of the 23 children chose Muhammad as their favourite name.
i think the problem was that she was teaching democracy - inactive, on 11/26/2007, -10/+58Ah Durka Durka Durka ..... Muhammed Jihad
Baklava Jihad Durka Durka - lead2thehead, on 11/26/2007, -1/+47So what's the big deal? I'm sure half of the kids in the class were named Muhammed too. It is literally the most common name on earth.
- whatthefu, on 11/26/2007, -2/+47I'm getting sick of this authoritarian *****.
- badjoke, on 11/26/2007, -1/+44Income - Expense ≠ Muhammad
- TsuruchiBrian, on 11/26/2007, -1/+44Scientology?
- CheeseburgerBro, on 11/26/2007, -9/+51Mohammed sucks.
- quadvods, on 11/26/2007, -8/+49Im sure she will be laughing after her 40 lashes... FAIL
- MaliciousKitty, on 11/26/2007, -2/+41pedobear?!?!
- ussoldier, on 11/26/2007, -6/+44Second choice name for the teddy bear was "*****".
- anteyekon4myst, on 11/26/2007, -3/+39This whole white guilt thing is getting pretty crazy.
A few white people screw up the next thing you know, you cant say anything about blacks, jews or muslims without it being deemed racist. (coming from a coloured person, not a scared white guy) - iamsamed, on 11/26/2007, -0/+36Well, in Christianity, when someone names their kid Jesus - heyzoos, in Spanish - well, they, errr, well, nothing happens to them.
- jjesusfreak01, on 11/26/2007, -0/+32This would be like naming a teddy bear here "John". Its a common name, and doesn't have to have any religious connotations unless you want to give them to it. This is ridiculous, and its making Muslims look like idiots, so there really ought to be a Muslim uprising crying for the release of this teacher.
- mohammadsucks, on 11/26/2007, -4/+34This story comes off the heels of another recent digg story about a muslim gang-rape *victim* who was sentenced to 200 lashes for riding in a car with men.
Backwards culture, horrid religion, savage people. Why anyone shows them any respect is beyond me. - theantix, on 11/26/2007, -5/+34Yeah, the jails here are full of people whose only crime was insulting the imaginary christian deity. And I still can't believe they executed that Seattle airport administrator who took down the christmas trees last year.
- Pinkertinkle, on 11/26/2007, -4/+32Fundamentalists are ***** retarded, be they Christian, Muslim or any other religion.
- TheOther1, on 11/26/2007, -1/+29February 22, 2006: Michigan Muslim leader calls for the “physical death” of those who “defile” the Prophet Mohamed.
Unfortunately, I doubt they will be left alone. - inactive, on 11/26/2007, -28/+56"Honestly is there a religion more insecure in itself than Islam?"
Three words for you, "War on Christmas" - TheDHC, on 11/26/2007, -1/+27Muhammad the teddy bear > Muhammad Atta
which one is more damaging to Islam - TheOther1, on 11/26/2007, -9/+31But Muhammad was a pedophile, not a bear.
- HarryBauzonia, on 11/26/2007, -2/+23I agree, but I also believe that they should be held to the same expectations when they come here.
- jjesusfreak01, on 11/26/2007, -0/+20Sucks for kids whose parents named them Mohammed...
- xxTazxx, on 11/26/2007, -9/+29Wait a minute please don't generalize like that to millions of people, I can guarantee most of muslims will say that this is just stupid, do you actually think we all agree to this? I read this on the Metro today and the first thing that came to my head was, and I quote, "WTF". Just because Bush is being a total nutcase does not mean that I believe all Christians are nutcases, and just because some athiest guy kills a bunch of people in cold blood means I will say athiests are all angry. Its just common sense mate. Its just sad that I have somehow become some sort of "short-tempered, selective" person because of what some idiots in Sudan are doing in the name of Islam.
- thegoudster, on 11/26/2007, -4/+23that's ridiculous. this world is so over sensitive anymore.
muhammad is one of the most common names in the world. it means "the praised one." it's not like it's a racial slur or something. - HarryBauzonia, on 11/26/2007, -0/+19Sure they would. And I would expect that it would go no further than that.
It certainly wouldn't go to court and it absolutely wouldn't result in 40 lashes. Civilization vs. barbarism, see. - inactive, on 11/26/2007, -5/+23This is stupid, what about all the people named Muhammad, are they insulting the profit as well?
- infecticide, on 11/26/2007, -3/+21Like George Carlin said "Its not the words, its the intent with which they are used."
- arbouler, on 11/26/2007, -1/+19what if a thief's name is mohammad? would they do more than just chop off his hands then?
- GreyICE, on 11/26/2007, -0/+18Yeah, I've got to say there's a magnitude problem there. Burning books versus lashing people. Protests and letters to the editor versus assassins and death threats. Chrisitianity certainly has some self-image problems, especially as expressed by a lot of fundimentalists, but frankly its nowhere close to the level of Islam.
- cawpin, on 11/26/2007, -1/+19And he can ride around in a Allah cart.
Ta-da! - voyvf, on 11/26/2007, -2/+20No doubt carved up by pirates.
- marsbar, on 11/26/2007, -0/+18The 13th Century would be a quantum leap forward for Islam. Muhammad died in 632 AD having revealed the immutable word of Allah in the Koran. Muslims throughout the world base their lives on this 7th Century document and the prevailing 7th Century morality. While all other belief systems have moved beyond their founding mythology to varying degrees Islam is bound on following their particular brand of lunacy to the letter. It is wrong to equate Islam with other religions. The key difference is that where there might be tolerance for debate within the frameworks of the other religions which may lead gradually to rationality, in Islam this idea is explicitly heretical. I don't make these statements lightly, only after careful study, without malice and with complete intellectual honesty.
- Kitakaze, on 11/26/2007, -7/+25Primitive Screwheads.
- KingGorilla, on 11/26/2007, -0/+17that actually has a pleasant ring to it
